Richard Pearson gets 14 years in prison for stabbing a street vendor and for previous assaults since 2002.

A homeless man who earned the nickname "SoHo Wild Man" was sentenced to 14 years in prison Thursday for stabbing a street vendor.

Richard Pearson, who has a long history of arrests and was convicted of assault in 2002, previously pleaded guilty to attempted murder in exchange for the fixed prison sentence and five years of post-release supervision.

Pearson, a known nuisance in the chic neighborhood, attacked Baare Batchiri with a pair of scissors mid-day on June 23, 2014.

Batchiri, who sold cell phone accessories, told the Daily News at the time that the notorious menace should do hard time for what he did.
